Process Explorer for Windows

Posted by Harish on Saturday, January 27, 2007

If you ever wanted to find out all the DLLs used by a particular program, Process Explorer is the way to go. It not only shows you information on the DLLs loaded by a particular program, it also lists all the handles that the selected process has opened.

The Process Explorer display window is divided into two panes. The top pane shows a list of currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts. The bottom pane displays the handles opened by the process selected in the top pane or you’ll see the DLLs and memory–mapped files that the selected process has loaded, based on the mode the Process Explorer is in. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

Process Explorer works on almost all flavors of Windows including 64–bit versions for x64 processors, Windows Vista and is useful in tracking down DLL–version problems or handle leaks, and provides insight into the way Windows and applications work.
